“The Fifties Never Tasted Better!”

A smiling woman wearing glasses and a black shirt holding a tray with a burger, fried cheese balls, and a small container of sauce inside a retro-style diner.

Step back in time at KirbyG’s Diner & Pub — where juicy award-winning burgers, golden crispy fries, and thick hand-spun milkshakes are served with a generous side of nostalgia and genuine Southern hospitality.

From our famous Drive-In Crack Burgers and the championship-winning Marriage of the Century to Trivia Night with Jackie on Thursdays and live music on Friday nights, every visit feels like a trip to the golden era of great food, good times, and unforgettable memories.

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch, bringing the whole family for dinner, grabbing takeout, or booking us for your next event or catering spread, one thing is certain:

The 50s never tasted better — and they’re right here in historic downtown McDonough.

What Our Customers Say!

“What an awesome spot. Food was on point and the service from Jackie was as well. Cant wait to go back to my new favorite burger spot!” – Google ★★★★★

Hands down one of the best burgers I’ve ever bitten into! It’s juicy, perfectly seasoned and topped with some of the best grilled onions! They have an $11.99 special on Monday’s that you can’t beat. Even comes with a drink. The fries were crispy and seasoned well. – Google ★★★★★

"Easy parking and amazing service. Will definitely be back!" – TripAdvisor ★★★★☆

This was a surprise find in McDonough after picking fruit at Southern Belle Farms & a pleasant one at that. With old fashioned music & pop culture themed decor spanning 50s-80s, they definitely met the “diner” feel. I got the Smash Detective burger - pretty basic like I like it, with cheese, sautéed onions & special sauce on the side. Decent onion rings too. Wife got the Mary Jane’s bacon jam with fries & was very happy with it. Grandson got a kid’s meal burger & also enjoyed. Hannah took good care of us, giving a couple suggestions as well. It’s off a downtown square so parking can be a little challenging but it’s worth circling a few times to find a spot. – TripAdvisor ★★★★★

"The Pit Crew challenge was so much fun – food was incredible!" – Yelp ★★★★★

Its a quality quaint 50's burger joint that hasn't overdone it with campy loud esthetics. The food is well seasoned and the flavor profiles are layered making the meal just as enjoyable as the cafe and its employees. Thank you Shayna and Sean-cool for making our experience relaxed and tasty! Try that marriage smash patty burger...it won for a reason! – Google ★★★★★
